there is a cemetery just up around the street from our house every day a 91 year old man comes with a chair and an umbrella and his lunch and sits and talks to his wife who died a year ago. He comes every day except when the weather is so bad he can't drive.There was a story on our local news about him about him but I never got the chance to see him because I rarely go that way but one day I did and there he was waving at people as they go by. now to me the fact he still comes every day to talk to her is awe inspiring and they truly loved each other. They were married 68 years and he brings frank Sinatra and Dean martin music to sing to her.

This is a touching story. But I don't know if it is good or bad. It's so sad. I wish he had someone in his life.
